Principles of Virology: Molecular Biology, Pathogenesis, and Control of Animal Viruses

Sorry it took so long to make this review... The product was great and in great condition! The shipping was fast

I used this book in my graduate level virology class, and I thought it was great. I really like how the book is divided into basic concepts in the viral life cycle (i.e. entry, genome replication, etc), and then discusses the strategies that different viruses use during these steps in the cell. I prefer this to most other virology texts I've seen, where they just catalog viruses by species, and don't make connections between how different viruses deal with similar situations in the cell. NOTE: I would not recommend this text for undergrads, however. It's a very densely written book, and covers a lot of ground. For undergrads, I'd recommend something more basic, like the Voyles text.

Simple english, easy to understand, a lot of useful detail info. Excellent for beginner or interested in viral molecular biology.

This is a readable book with good illustrations and summarizing schemes, tables... Good for both undergraduate and graduate students...

It is a required text, so not that much fun, but was in excellent condition.
